fiat_knoxA block of Glasgow flats which explodes into colour in a television advert has been demolished.
The high-rise flats in Queen's Court, Toryglen, were destroyed by a controlled explosion on Sunday morning.
The flats are currently being featured on TV to advertise Sony's high-definition Bravia LCD television.
In the advert, 70,000 litres of environmentally-friendly paint are blasted across the flats using fireworks, creating paint explosions.
The footage of the demolition of the flats can be seen below:
Two members of the legendary Glasgow band Simple Minds, along with a Scottish MP, were raised there. This is probably a very sad day for all those concerned.
But hugely entertaining for the rest of us.
